Most publishers provide one or more of three types of alerts: Table of Contents Alerts, Keyword Search Alerts, and/or Citation Alerts. This workshop will focus on those Alerting Services relevant to your academic discipline. You will learn how to set up an account with various databases, receive an alert via email or RSS aggregator, register to an aggregator (Bloglines) to receive your RSS feeds for your alerts, and set up several alerts from selected databases. Alerting services can save you time and effort. This “push” technology keeps you up to date with cutting-edge research without requiring you to perform your searches every day, week, or month.
